  1. Hello. My name is Priscilla Marvin.
  2. Today I will be introducing a fictional short story by
  3. Anton Chekhov named the but The best stores offered a
  4. place in the late 19th century of Russia known as
  5. the Banker's Garden.
  6. The banker was aside caring for his garden.
  7. When a young man around his 20's passes by and
  8. asked a banker a question.
  9. The young man and the banker talk about the question
  10. a little more than they get into an argument.
  11. They argue whether having life in prison is worse than
  12. being sentenced to death.
  13. The banker known as Samuel Jackson, a very multi banker
  14. with a lot of money, told the young man known
  15. as Zack a front who had told him he was
  16. a lawyer beforehand that he thinks being sentenced to death
  17. is better than life in prison.
  18. But the lawyer still disagreed.
  19. They both argue for some time and the banker says,
  20. well let's bet on it then.
  21. And so they did.
  22. The bet is if the lawyer could spend 15 years
  23. in total isolation, the banker would pay him two million
  24. rubles. But the catch was, the lawyer could have no
  25. direct contact with any other person, but could write notes
  26. to communicate with the outside world and receive whatever comforts
  27. he desired.
  28. And so it started, the lawyer went to total isolation
  29. Ak prison and were to stay there for 15 years.
  30. While the Baker continued his life on, the lawyer was
  31. not able to spend 15 years in prison, so he
  32. had left hours beforehand and didn't want to any money
  33. anymore. He had furthermore lost the bet.
